In a first of its kind attempt, the Vadodara Municipal Corporation has started a new service in which property tax will be collected from the doorsteps of those residents who cannot deposit the tax at the bank of the corporation office from August 1. One can avail the facility by calling on the toll free number of the civic body. A proposal in this regard was brought before the standing committee on Friday and was cleared by the panel. Four leading private sector banks have been roped in for the purpose. Citizens so far had the option of paying their civic taxes at VMC's ward offices, online or at branches of HDFC, ICICI and Axis banks. The VMC has roped in all these three banks as well as Indusind Bank to provide doorstep collection of property tax. less&nbsp
